New US uranium production and resource data released

The USA produced 33% less uranium in 2018 than 2017, according to the US Energy Information Administration's (EIA) 2018 Domestic Uranium Production Report. Meanwhile, Uranium One has published NI 43-101 technical reports including resource figures for five uranium exploration and development properties in Wyoming.

A total of 1.6 million pounds U3O8 (615 tU) was produced from seven facilities, according to the report which was published on 16 May. These were the White Mesa uranium mill in Utah, plus six in-situ leach operations: Crow Butte in Nebraska, and Lost Creek, Nichols Ranch, Ross, Smith Ranch-Highland and Willow Creek, all in Wyoming. Ross is part of the Lance project. Total mine production, at 0.7 million pounds, was 37% less than the previous year. Total production reflects the amount of ore fed to mills in the year, including stockpiled ore mined in previous years, and is therefore higher than mine production.

The 1.6 million pounds of uranium concentrates shipped from those operations was 35% less than in 2017. US producers sold a total of 1.5 million pounds U3O8 at a weighted average price of USD32.51 per pound.

EIA data released earlier this month for the first quarter of 2019 reflect that two of those ISL operations - Crow Butte and Willow Creek - are not currently operating.

Two mills - Shootaring Canyon in Utah and Sweetwater Uranium Project in Wyoming - and four ISL plants were on standby in 2018, according to the report. Total expenditures for land, exploration, drilling, production and reclamation, at USD109 million, were 11% less than in 2017 and the lowest total since 2004. Total employment in the US uranium production industry, at 372 full-time person-years in 2018, was 12% less than in 2017 and the lowest since 2003.

Well! This is just as of last week:

https://www.wmar2news.com/news/local-news/government-ethics-watch-dog-files-irs-complaint-against-wife-of-elijah-cummings

BALTIMORE — A government ethics watchdog has filed a complaint with the Internal Revenue Service against a charity run by the wife of Maryland Congressman Elijah Cummings.

The complaint was filed on Monday by the National Legal and Policy Center against the Center for Global Policy Solutions, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization headed by Maya Rockeymoore Cummings, the Congressman's wife.

Its main purpose, they say, is for the IRS to investigate whether "its organizers are getting fat off the grants."

Rockeymoore Cummings is also President of a similarly named for-profit consulting firm called Global Policy Solutions, LLC., which has listed the same address and phone number as the charity."

The little trick of creating multiple corporate entities with names that are just BARELY different is right out of the Clintons' playbook. Q knows, which is why somebody (I can't remember who it was) said today that Lois Lerner (former IRS Commissioner) might come back into the ballgame. Hat tip to the marvelous Charles Ortel for teaching me about all that. The man is a damn wizard, and he has the Clintons' number.

Requesting digs on both the Rockeymoore/Cummings' 501(c)(3) orgs:

Center for Global Policy Solutions

Global Policy Solutions, LLC

Are search tools for organizations/individuals still in the dough? The need for them hasn't gone anywhere.

"The watchdog claims Rockeymoore Cummings was in violation of the Internal Revenue Code for overlapping her non-profit and for-profit business dealings, but may have also personally benefited financially from charitable donations in what is also known as inurement."

Huawei asks U.S. court to declare defense bill 'unconstitutional'

HONG KONG (Reuters) - China’s Huawei Technologies Co Ltd has filed a motion for summary judgment in its lawsuit against the U.S. government, according to a court filing in the United States, in the telecoms equipment maker’s latest attempt to fight sanctions from Washington that threaten to push it out of global markets.

The motion filed late Tuesday in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas asks to declare the 2019 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) unconstitutional, in an update to the lawsuit against the act that the Chinese company started in March.

The NDAA bill, passed into law by the U.S. Congress last summer, places a broad ban on federal agencies and their contractors from using Huawei equipment on national security grounds, citing the company’s ties with the Chinese government.

Huawei has repeatedly denied it is controlled by the Chinese government, military or intelligence services.

The world’s largest telecom network gear maker has since faced even greater sanctions as the U.S. commerce department on May 16 put the firm on a trade blacklist that bans companies from doing business with Huawei, in a move which immediately disrupted the global tech sector.

The ban comes amid an escalating trade dispute between the world’s two biggest economies.

Huawei, which has been given a 90-day reprieve from the ban, has denied that its products pose a security threat and protested Washington’s attempts to limit its business.

Song Liuping, Huawei’s chief legal officer, wrote in the Wall Street Journal on Monday that the law is a violation of due process as it “directly and permanently applies to Huawei without opportunity for rebuttal or escape”.

“This is the tyranny of ‘trial by legislature’ that the U.S. Constitution prohibits,” Song wrote.

Notable: 'APT28' cited as the hacking group that breached the DNC in 2016

Cyber Command's latest VirusTotal upload has been linked to an active attack

The malware sample that U.S. Cyber Command uploaded to VirusTotal last week is still involved in active attacks, multiple security researchers tell CyberScoop.

Researchers from Kaspersky Lab and ZoneAlarm, a software security company run by Check Point Technologies, tell CyberScoop they have linked the malware with APT28, the same hacking group that breached the Democratic National Committee during the 2016 election cycle.

A variant of the malware is being used in ongoing attacks, hitting targets as recently this month. The targets include Central Asian nations, as well as diplomatic and foreign affairs organizations, Kaspersky Lab’s principal security researcher Kurt Baumgartner tells CyberScoop.

While ZoneAlarm can’t confirm the targets the attack is focused on, the company detected the specific malware hash in an active attack in the Czech Republic last week, Lotem Finkelsteen, ZoneAlarm’s Threat Intelligence Group Manager, tells CyberScoop.

Nikkei tumbles to more than 2-week low, growth worries hit export stocks-Huawei files motion in US court to block ban of technology sales

TOKYO, May 29 (Reuters) - Japan’s Nikkei tumbled to a more than two-week low on Wednesday morning, weighed by companies with large exposure to China, such as those in the chip sector, reflecting persistent concerns about U.S.-China trade frictions.

The worries about the trade war and its impact on global growth drove the a rally in world and local bonds and a selloff in financial stocks.

Asian markets fell in early trading Wednesday, following losses on Wall Street as the trade war between the U.S. and China showed no signs of thawing.

Late Tuesday, the U.S. decided not to label China a currency manipulator, although it was on a list, along with eight other countries, whose trade surpluses with the United States and other indicators are being closely tracked.

5 Facts about Elijah Cummings’ Wife Maya Rockeymoore

Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-Maryland) was appointed chairman of House Oversight and Reform Committee, which has the power to subpoena the Trump administration. He’s married to Maya Rockeymoore, a force in the Maryland Democratic Party herself. Talk about a political power couple! An impressive woman, Maya Rockeymoore deserves the spotlight in her own right. The couple is being lauded for their work after Cummings’ appearance on CBS’ 60 Minutes.

She Was Appointed Chair of the Maryland Democratic Party

Maya Rockeymoore, 47, married Rep. Elijah Cummings in 2008. They don’t have any children together, although Cummings has three children from previous relationships.

A Texas native, Rockeymoore is the daughter of Hazel Brown Rockeymoore and U.S. Air Force soldier Thomas Charles Rockeymoore. Maya, her brother, Mark, and sister, Meredith, grew up in a military family with parents active in the community, in the Democratic party, and in their church.

Rockeymoore is more than just the longtime Congressman’s wife.

In 2018, Maryland Democrats elected Rockeymoore as party chair. Rockeymoore won the vote over incumbent, Kathleen Matthews, 438-319. With the Maryland governorship falling into Republican hands, there was much dissatisfaction against Matthews for losing the post to Rockeymoore.

She Ran for Maryland Governor

In 2017, Rockeymoore announced her bid for Maryland Governor, her first run for a public office. She was one of the two women and three African-American candidates in the Democratic primary.

She hoped to be the Democratic gubernatorial candidate against Gov. Larry Hogan in the 2018 elections. If elected to governor, she would have been the first woman and first black governor of Maryland.

She gained the endorsement of EMILY’s List, a pro-choice political action committee that aims to elect female candidates.

However, Rockeymoore suspended her campaign in January 2018 citing “personal considerations.” Not long after, it was announced her husband was hospitalized over health concerns.

Rep. Cummings had surgery to repair his aortic valve in 2017 and suffered a few complications weeks later. In December 2017, he was treated for an infection in his knee. However, Rockeymoore’s campaign did not elaborate if her husband’s health had anything to do with her dropping out of the race.

She Has a Doctorate from Purdue University

Though a novice in governance, Rockeymoore has an impressive academic background and experience with public policy. She proudly proclaims her HBCU education from Prairie View A&M University in Texas.

She graduated from PVAMU in 1993 with a bachelor’s degree in political science and government. She later acquired her master’s degree from Purdue University in Indiana, in 1996.

She went on to receive her PhD in political science from Purdue in 2000. At Purdue, she specialized in public policy, international relations, American politics, and African-American studies.

While pursuing her masters in Indiana, Rockeymoore served as an administrative assistant to the director at the Marion County Health Department. Soon after receiving her post-graduate degree, she came to Washington, D.C., where she gained experience in public policy.

She worked in the office of former Congressman Melvin Watt as a Congressional Black Caucus Legislative Fellow. She later joined the staff of the House Ways and Means Social Security Subcommittee.

From 1999 to 2000, Rockeymoore was a congressional aide and chief of staff in the office of Congressman Charles Rangel, the Representative for New York districts from 1971 to 2017.

Among her other accomplishments, she was a senior resident scholar with the National Urban League and vice president of research and programs for the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation.

In 2005, Rockeymoore established Global Policy Solutions, LLC, a Washington, D.C.-based firm. The team of consultants under Rockeymoore’s leadership works with corporate, philanthropic, academic, non-profit, and governmental entities to make policy work for people, communities, and the environment.

As the president and CEO of Global Policy Solutions, she works on public relations, analysis, strategy development, and securing grants and donors.

She has published numerous papers and contributed to publications on matters of health policies, social insurance, economic equality, women’s issues, and youth civic participation.

Her book, The Political Action Handbook: A How to Guide for the Hip Hop Generation, traced the influence of hip-hop on youth political activism.

Notable: Cummings fights back after massive pay-to-play scandal accusations

Democrat Rep. Cummings Fights Back After He and His Wife Accused of Massive Pay-to-Play Scandal

Last week it was first reported by the Washington Examiner that a charity run by Maya Rockeymoore, the wife of Rep. Elijah Cummings, received millions from special interest groups and corporations that had business before her husband’s committee.

Democrat Maryland Rep. Elijah Cummings, Chairman of the House Oversight Committee was in very poor financial condition and heavily in debt due to unpaid child support to three women he had children with — until the last 10 years or so after he married his young, politically connected wife, Maya Rockeymoore.

Cummings blasted a complaint to the IRS against his wife as “baseless,” and partisan in a statement to Fox News.

“These baseless claims come from a group funded by right-wing mega-donors known for their political hit jobs,” Cummings said in a statement to Fox News. “I am confident that they will be exposed for what they really are – a fabricated distraction from the important work being done on behalf of Americans, such as lowering the skyrocketing prices of prescription drugs.”

Notable: RBG and Thomas trade barbs in Supreme Court ruling on state abortion matter

Justices Ginsburg, Thomas trade barbs in Supreme Court ruling on state abortion matter

Supreme Court Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Clarence Thomas had two very different opinions when it came to a ruling on Tuesday that effectively upheld an Indiana law on disposal of fetal remains.

The court’s ruling allowed Indiana to enforce a requirement that abortion clinics either bury or cremate fetal remains following an abortion. The justices said in an unsigned opinion that the case does not involve limits on abortion rights. Ginsburg was one of two liberal-leaning justices who dissented.

Ginsburg said in a short solo opinion that she believes the issue does impact a woman's right to have an abortion "without undue interference from the state."

Ginsburg’s dissent was not met well by Thomas, who said that it “makes little sense” and “lacks evidentiary support.”

“Justice Ginsburg does not even attempt to argue that the decision below was correct,” Thomas said in his opinion. “Instead, she adopts Chief Judge Wood’s [who wrote the federal appeals court ruling from the 7th Circuit] alternative suggestion that regulating the disposition of an aborted child’s body might impose an “undue burden” on the mother’s right to abort that (already aborted) child.”

Thomas supports overturning the Roe v. Wade decision that first declared abortion rights the law of the land,. His 20-page opinion sought to link birth control and abortion to eugenics, the now-discredited movement to improve the human race through selective reproduction.

The Indiana provision promotes "a state's compelling interest in preventing abortion from becoming a tool of modern-day eugenics," Thomas wrote.

Ginsburg did not take kindly to Thomas’ retort or use of the word “mother.”

“Justice Thomas’ footnote displays more heat than light,” she wrote. “A woman who exercises her constitutionally protected right to terminate a pregnancy is not a “mother.”

Obama secretly tried to help Iran use U.S. banks to convert $5.7 billion in Iranian assets

The Obama administration secretly tried to help the country that screams “death to America” use U.S. banks to convert $5.7 billion in Iranian assets. First, Obama failed to disclose to Congress the existence of secret side deals on inspections when he transmitted the nuclear accord to Capitol Hill. (They were only uncovered by accident when then-Rep. Mike Pompeo (R-Kan.) and Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) learned about them during a meeting with International Atomic Energy Agency officials in Vienna.) Then, Obama secretly sent a plane to Tehran loaded with $400 million in Swiss francs, euros and other currencies on the same day Iran released four American hostages, which was followed by two more secret flights carrying another $1.3 billion in cash.

But wait there’s more! Republicans on the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, led by Sen. Rob Portman (R-Ohio), revealed in a report that the Obama administration secretly had tried to help Iran use U.S. banks to convert $5.7 billion in Iranian assets. This was after Obama promised Congress that Iran would not get access to the U.S. financial system — and then after lied to Congress about what he had done. In July 2015, Obama Treasury Secretary Jack Lew told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee that, under the nuclear accord, Iran “will continue to be denied access to the [U.S.] financial and commercial market” and that “Iranian banks will not be able to clear U.S. dollars through New York, hold correspondent account relationships with U.S. financial institutions, or enter into financing arrangements with U.S. banks.” A few weeks later, one of Jack Lew’s top deputies, Adam Szubin, said the exact same thing in a testimony to the Senate banking committee.

However, Senate investigators found that on Feb. 24, 2016, the Obama Treasury Department “granted a specific license that authorized a conversion of Iranian assets worth billions of U.S. dollars using the U.S. financial system” — exactly what Jack Lew and Adam Szubin promised would not happen — including unlimited future Iranian deposits at Bank Muscat in Oman until the license expired.

Fake social media accounts spread pro-Iran messages during U.S. midterms: FireEye

(Reuters) - A network of fake social media accounts impersonated political candidates and journalists to spread messages in support of Iran and against U.S. President Donald Trump around the 2018 congressional elections, cybersecurity firm FireEye said on Tuesday. The findings show how unidentified, possibly government-backed, groups could manipulate social media platforms to promote stories and other content that can influence the opinions of American voters, the researchers said. This particular operation was largely focused on promoting “anti-Saudi, anti-Israeli, and pro-Palestinian themes,” according to the report by FireEye.

The campaign was organized through a series of fake personas that created various social media accounts, including on Twitter and Facebook. Most of these accounts were created last year and have since been taken down, the report said. Spokespersons for Twitter and Facebook confirmed FireEye’s finding that the fake accounts were created on their platforms. Lee Foster, a researcher with FireEye, said he found some of the fake personas - often masquerading as American journalists - had successfully convinced several U.S. news outlets to publish letters to the editor, guest columns and blog posts.

These writings displayed both progressive and conservative views, the report said, covering topics including the Trump administration’s designation of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) as a terrorist organization. “We’re assessing with low confidence that this network was organized to support Iranian political interests,” said Foster. “However, we’re not at the point where we can say who was doing it or where it’s coming from. The investigation is ongoing.”

Before the 2018 midterms election, the nameless group created Twitter accounts that also impersonated both Republican and Democratic congressional candidates. It is unclear if the fake accounts had any effect on their campaigns. The imposter Twitter accounts often plagiarized messages from the politicians’ legitimate accounts, but also mixed in posts voicing support for policies believed to be favorable to Tehran. Affected politicians included Jineea Butler, a Republican candidate for New York’s 13th District, and Marla Livengood, a Republican candidate for California’s 9th District. Both Livengood and Butler lost in the election. Livengood’s campaign called the situation “clearly an attempt by bad actors” to hurt her campaign, and noted that Livengood was “a strident opponent of nuclear weapons in Iran.” Butler could not be immediately reached for comment.

Twitter said in a statement that it had “removed this network of 2,800 inauthentic accounts originating in Iran at the beginning of May,” adding that its investigation was ongoing. Facebook said it had removed 51 Facebook accounts, 36 Pages, seven Groups and three Instagram accounts connected to the influence operation. Instagram is owned by Facebook. The activity on Facebook was less expansive than that on Twitter and it appeared to be more narrowly focused, said Facebook head of cybersecurity policy Nathaniel Gleicher. The inauthentic Facebook accounts instead often privately messaged high profile figures, including journalists, policy-makers and Iranian dissidents, to promote certain issues.

Second GOP lawmaker blocks $19B disaster aid bill

May 28 (UPI) – Within days of the first, a second GOP lawmaker has blocked a $19 billion aid bill for victims of California wildfires, Midwest floods and coastal hurricanes. Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., said no to the bill's immediate passage with unanimous consent Tuesday in a pro forma session, demanding the vote be held after the House returns from recess next week, while criticizing House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Democrats for trying to pass the bill during recess.

"If the Speaker of this House felt that this was must-pass legislation, the speaker of this House should have called a vote on this legislation before sending its members on recess for 10 days," Massie. His no vote marks the second time in four days a sole-Republican congressman has delayed the disaster aid bill's passage. Prior to the first pro forma vote, the bill had already been gridlocked for nearly six months as Senate Republicans were reluctant to approve more recovery funds for Puerto Rico, which President Donald Trump opposed, before a Senate deal last week.

On May 24, Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas, similarly objected to the $19 billion disaster aid bill, which otherwise would've passed at that time. The Texas Republican said he opposed the bill since it didn't include $4.4 billion for the U.S.-Mexico border crisis and would increase the federal deficit, adding attempt to pass the bill during recess was "swampy."

In the compromise reached last week, Congress agreed across partisan lines to fund $600 million for Puerto Rico's nutritional assistance program and $300 million in Housing and Urban Development grants to offer relief to residents devastated by Hurricane Maria in 2017. The bill's passage has been further complicated by the White House on May 1 sending a request to Congress for $3.3 billion in emergency funds to cover humanitarian assistance at the U.S.-Mexico border and another $1.1 billion for border operations with the surge of Central American migrants.

Sen. Mark Warner sounds alarm over William Barr's new declassification powers

WASHINGTON — The top Democrat on the Senate intelligence committee is sounding the alarm about the new powers that President Donald Trump has granted to Attorney General William Barr.

Sen. Mark Warner of Virginia, in a letter obtained by The Associated Press, said he fears Trump is giving Barr “the right to selectively declassify certain information for purposes of political gain.” He asked that the leaders of the nation’s spy agencies contact lawmakers if Barr’s investigation threatens their work.

Trump last week granted Barr the power to review and potentially release classified information as he analyzes the origins of the FBI’s Russia investigation. Trump has said it is time to “investigate the investigators” now that special counsel Robert Mueller has concluded his work, and he has directed the intelligence community to “quickly and fully cooperate” with Barr’s review.

Warner’s letter is dated Friday, the day after Trump’s directive, and was addressed to the heads of the FBI, the CIA, the NSA and the director of national intelligence. It warned that “politically driven investigations such as Barr‘s” could endanger sources, damage relations with foreign intelligence agencies and drive career professionals from government service.

Barr’s investigation threatens to aggravate long-standing tensions between the White House and the country’s spy agencies. Trump has frequently claimed his campaign was the victim of “spying,” though the intelligence community has insisted it acted lawfully in following leads in the Russia investigation and conducted surveillance under court order.

Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats has pledged to provide Barr with all the information he needs, but warned that publicly releasing highly sensitive classified information “would put our national security at risk.”

Warner has worked closely with Republican Sen. Richard Burr, the intelligence panel’s chairman, on a bipartisan investigation of Russian interference in the 2016 election.

Texas secretary of state resigns amid voter purge controversy

May 28 (UPI) – Texas Secretary of State David Whitley abruptly resigned Monday amid criticism for challenging the citizenship status of thousands of voters in the state. Whitley turned in his resignation letter on the last day of the legislative session.

"Working alongside the employees in the secretary of state's office, county election officials and representatives of our #1 trading partner, Mexico, has been my distinct honor and privilege," Whitley said in the letter to Gov. Greg Abbott. "And to have your trust in doing so goes beyond what I ever dreamed of as a kid growing up in a small South Texas community." Whitley was appointed to the position in December. Now, Abbott will assign a replacement, though they won't be confirmed until the legislature meets again.

Whitley drew criticism for claims that nearly 100,000 non-citizens had registered to vote, and ordering the names be reviewed and purged from voter rolls. It's an issue also popular with President Donald Trump, who's taken a stand against what he's called "rampant" voter fraud in the United States. Texas ended Whitley's voter purge last month as part of a settlement with civil rights groups. U.S. District Judge Fred Biery ruled in February there hadn't been widespread voter fraud, and called Whitley's purge a "mess."

Arrest warrant issued for ex-Pemex CEO in Mexico anti-graft push

MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - Mexico issued an arrest warrant for a former chief of Mexican oil company Pemex, government-owned media said on Tuesday, in the first blow against former President Enrique Pena Nieto’s inner circle since a new government took office promising to clean up politics.

Citing sources at the attorney general’s office, Mexico news agency Notimex said a judge had ordered the arrest of Emilio Lozoya, who headed Pemex from 2012 to 2016.

A Mexican security source said the reports were accurate. The attorney general’s office did not respond to requests for comment.

Related to the case, Spanish police detained steel magnate Alonso Ancira on Tuesday, his company Altos Hornos de Mexico (AHMSA) said in a statement. The company sold a fertilizer plant to Pemex in 2014, while Lozoya was at the helm.

The investigation of Lozoya, who ran Pena Nieto’s 2012 election campaign, is the first high-profile corruption investigation launched by the government of President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador against the government he replaced on Dec. 1.

Lopez Obrador won election by a landslide promising to root out public sector corruption.

On Monday, the Finance Ministry said it had blocked accounts belonging to Lozoya and to AHMSA for allegedly carrying out illegal operations.

The ministry’s money laundering czar Santiago Nieto said the case also had links to Brazilian builder Odebrecht , whose executives have testified about bribes to politicians across Latin America.

“Operations with possibly illicit resources linked to acts of corruption were detected, particularly transfers of financial resources deposited by Altos Hornos de Mexico in an Odebrecht phantom shell company and part of the money reached Mr. Lozoya’s accounts,” Nieto said on Mexican radio.

Lozoya’s lawyer Javier Coello did not respond to a request for comment. Coello previously told Reuters his client did not receive bribes from AHMSA or Odebrecht and that none of Lozoya’s work at Pemex has been proven to have involved corruption.

MEXICO, SCOTLAND, BRAZIL

Last year, investigative news site Quinto Elemento Lab reported AHMSA paid $3.7 million to a shell company allegedly set up by Odebrecht to pay bribes.

Citing documents from Brazil’s Supreme Court, Quinto Elemento reported that AHMSA made three wire transfers to Grangemouth Trading Co’s account weeks after the steel company announced the controversial sale of the fertilizer plant to Pemex.

AHMSA’s Grangemouth payments were made to an account with Meinl Bank Antigua, Quinto Elemento reported. The account was the same one Odebrecht executives said in testimony that they used to pay Lozoya bribes.

Reuters reviewed the documents obtained by Quinto Elemento.

Pemex Fertilizers, a Pemex subsidiary created during Pena Nieto’s term, purchased two fertilizer plants in 2013 and 2016. One of the plants, ProAgro, was bought from AHMSA for $475 million, a sum that critics say was inflated. ProAgro was not operational when Pemex bought it.

Despite hundreds of millions of dollars spent to revive ProAgro, the plant was still not operating this year, according to a scathing government audit of the 2017 operations of Pemex, Mexico’s biggest state-owned firm.

The second plant, Fertinal, operated well below capacity, and Pemex Fertilizers suffered net losses of $665 million that year, according to the report. Meanwhile, its assets were worth $1.1 billion less over the course of the year, the report said.

Lozoya has defended the purchases as part of the government’s efforts to provide support to agriculture in Mexico.

Last week, the Public Administration Ministry announced sanctions against two senior Pemex executives from the Pena Nieto administration, without identifying the executives.

One of the executives was Lozoya, according to the people with knowledge of the matter, who was barred from holding public office for 10 years. Another was the former head of Pemex’s fertilizer unit, Mexican media reported.

Oklahoma accuses J&J of 'brainwashing campaign' in sale of opioids

May 28 (UPI) – Oklahoma Attorney General Mike Hunter said the opioid crisis is "devastating" his state Tuesday during opening remarks in a historic trial between the state and drugmaker Johnson & Johnson, which he accused of facilitating the crisis and thousands of deaths. He accused the pharmaceutical company of a "multibillion dollar brainwashing campaign" in its effort to market and push sales of the drugs. "The pain, anguish and heartbreak … is almost impossible to comprehend. How did this happen? At the end of the day, your honor, I have a short, one-word answer – greed," Hunter said.

Hunter seeks to hold Johnson & Johnson accountable for overdoses of its narcotic painkillers. Other pharmaceutical companies were attached to the lawsuit, but Hunter dropped charges against most. Purdue Pharma settled for $270 million and Teva for $85 million to avoid trial, leaving Johnson & Johnson as the lone defendant. "We have looked at literally millions of documents, taken hundreds of depositions, and we are even more convinced that these companies are the proximate cause for the epidemic in our state and in our country," Hunter said. Some 4,653 people died from opioid-related causes in Oklahoma between 2007 and 2017, Hunter said during opening remarks. "Manufactures have in a consistent and … coldblooded fashion marketed these drugs in a way that has misrepresented their tendency to be addictive and the extent to which they can be deadly," the lawsuit said.

Defense lawyer Larry Ottaway said that in 2009, the Food and Drug Administration backed Johnson & Johnson's assertions that opioids are rarely addictive.

The state accuses the company of exaggerating the benefits of opioids, and using deceptive marketing that encouraged physicians to prescribe narcotic painkillers for ailments not approved by regulators. The precedent-setting Oklahoma bench trial is the first of its kind against an opioid manufacturer. Hundreds more nationwide are pending. A North Dakota judge dismissed all of that state's claims against Purdue, ruling that the company shouldn't be blamed for drug abuse when the product is legal. "Purdue cannot control how doctors prescribe its products and it certainly cannot control how individual patients use and respond to its products regardless of any warning or instruction Purdue might give," judge James Hill wrote in his ruling.

American Soil Is Being Globalized: Nearly 30 Million Acres Of U.S. Farmland Is Now Owned By Foreigners

All across America, U.S. farmland is being gobbled up by foreign interests. So when we refer to “the heartland of America”, the truth is that vast stretches of that “heartland” is now owned by foreigners, and most Americans have no idea that this is happening. These days, a lot of people are warning about the “globalization” of the world economy, but in reality our own soil is rapidly being “globalized”. When farms are locally owned, the revenue that those farms take in tends to stay in local communities. But with foreign-owned farms there is no guarantee that will happen. And while there is plenty of food to go around this is not a major concern, but what happens when a food crisis erupts and these foreign-owned farms just keep sending their produce out of the country? There are some very serious national security concerns here, and they really aren’t being addressed. Instead, the amount of farmland owned by foreigners just continues to increase with each passing year.

Prior to seeing the headline to this article, how much U.S. farmland would you have guessed that foreigners now own?

Personally, I had no idea that foreigners now own nearly 30 million acres. The following comes from NPR…

American soil.

Those are two words that are commonly used to stir up patriotic feelings. They are also words that can’t be be taken for granted, because today nearly 30 million acres of U.S. farmland are held by foreign investors. That number has doubled in the past two decades, which is raising alarm bells in farming communities.

How did we allow this to happen?

And actually laws regarding land ownership vary greatly from state to state. Some states have placed strict restrictions on foreign land ownership, while in other states it is “a free-for-all”…

“Texas is kind of a free-for-all, so they don’t have a limit on how much land can be owned,” say’s Ohio Farm Bureau’s Ty Higgins, “You look at Iowa and they restrict it — no land in Iowa is owned by a foreign entity.”

Ohio, like Texas, also has no restrictions, and nearly half a million acres of prime farmland are held by foreign-owned entities. In the northwestern corner of the state, below Toledo, companies from the Netherlands alone have purchased 64,000 acres for wind farms.

But even in states where there are restrictions, foreign entities can get around that by simply buying large corporations that own land.

Notable: U.S. Border Patrol creating “Border Patrol Processing Coordinator”

Border Patrol Creating A New Position To Stymie The Immigration Crisis

The U.S. Border Patrol announced that it’s creating a new position specifically tailored to processing and caring for migrants who reach the southern border, allowing agents to refocus their work on enforcement. The “Border Patrol Processing Coordinator” will assume certain responsibilities that have consumed the agency’s time as it deals with a surge of migrants at the U.S.-Mexico border, according to a Customs and Border Protection (CBP) press release on Tuesday. The new position is meant to bring relief to agents who have long complained that the humanitarian crisis has kept them from performing their main role at the border. Coordinators are to be tasked with feeding, cleaning, transporting and other general tasks for illegal immigrants in Border Patrol custody. Migrants in need of medical care will be transported to hospitals by coordinators, who will also be assigned to watch over migrants as they receive care.

“I am committed to providing the men and women of the U.S. Border Patrol the resources they need to accomplish their border security mission,” Carla Provost, Chief of the Border Patrol, said in a prepared statement on Tuesday. “Border Patrol Processing Coordinators will take on processing, transportation, and custody responsibilities, which will free up agents for critical law enforcement operations.” It’s not clear how many Border Patrol Processing coordinators the agency plans to bring on, but CBP indicated it is currently developing the position and plans to begin hiring by early fiscal year 2020.

The announcement comes as Border Patrol agents are becoming inundated with tens of thousands of illegal immigrants every month — many of them family units and unaccompanied children that require special care. The result of the crisis has forced 40% of agents at the Southwest border to focus on the menial tasks that come with caring for migrants — taking them away from their law enforcement role. The crisis has not only forced migrant detention centers to release thousands of families into the interior of the U.S., but has also meant a lack of narcotics enforcement. Officials within the Department of Homeland Security are warning that drug cartels in Mexico are taking advantage of the immigration emergency that’s consuming agents’ time. “Right now, we are babysitting,” an agent stated in January, decrying the nursing role they’ve been forced to take on. “We’re supposed to pay attention to medical conditions that we’re not trained for. We are not machines. We’re emotionally stressed.”

Justin Amash Attacks AG Barr: ‘Used His Position’ to Push Trump’s ‘False Narrative

Rep. Justin Amash (R-MI) on Tuesday once again attacked Attorney General William Barr’s handling of special counsel Robert Mueller’s report on now-debunked collusion between the 2016 Trump campaign and Russia, claiming that the nation’s chief legal officer “deliberately misrepresented” its contents.

Amash rocketed into Resistance folk-hero status earlier this month after becoming the first congressional Republican to accuse President Trump of “impeachable” offenses based on Mueller’s report on social media. In the same Twitter thread, the libertarian-leaning lawmaker also accused Barr of misrepresenting the special counsel’s findings. Mueller found no evidence of a criminal conspiracy between the Trump campaign and Russia during the election, and further, Barr and Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein determined that the president did not obstruct justice based on the report. Amash aimed his critique directly at Barr shortly after noon Tuesday, one day after Memorial Day.

“Attorney General Barr has deliberately misrepresented key aspects of Mueller’s report and decisions in the investigation, which has helped further the president’s false narrative about the investigation,” Amash wrote on social media, then accused Barr of crafting a letter which “selectively quotes and summarizes points in Mueller’s report in misleading ways.” Amash later pointed out that Mueller sent a letter to Barr, stating that the attorney general’s summary of his findings “did not fully capture the context, nature, and substance” of his report. “There is now public confusion about critical aspects of the results of our investigation. This threatens to undermine a central purpose for which the Department appointed the Special Counsel: to assure full public confidence in the outcome of the investigations,” Amash tweeted, citing Mueller’s letter sent March 27 to Barr.

The Michigan congressman then expanded on the purported “false narrative” that President Trump has attempted to disseminate regarding the Mueller report, claiming that Barr played a role in the findings’ misrepresentations. “Barr has so far successfully used his position to sell the president’s false narrative to the American people. This will continue if those who have read the report do not start pushing back on his misrepresentations and share the truth,” he concluded.

Tuesday’s tweetstorm comes as Amash continues to face fierce blowback from top Republicans over his remarks. Michigan State Rep. Jim Lower (R) recently announced that he will mount a primary challenge to the congressman, saying his remarks on impeachment “show how out of touch he is with the truth and how out of touch he is with people he represents.” President Trump responded to Amash’s statements, calling him a “loser” and a “total lightweight” in search of media attention.

The House Freedom Caucus has also voted to condemn Amash, one of the group’s founding members, for his statements. “It was every single person who totally disagrees with what he says,” House Oversight Committee ranking member Jim Jordan (R-OH) said of the vote. “What concerns me is Justin was viewed as a leader, right, on protecting privacy rights first to First Amendment rights.”

Treasury Declines to Label China Currency Manipulator

WASHINGTON — The Trump administration on Tuesday declined to label China as a currency manipulator despite President Trump’s repeated complaint that Beijing has weakened the renminbi as a way to take advantage of the United States on trade.

The decision not to formally accuse China of manipulating its currency could avoid further escalating tensions between Washington and Beijing, which have grown heated following a breakdown in trade negotiations earlier this month.

China continues to be on Treasury’s watchlist along with the “currency practices” of Germany, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Singapore, and Vietnam. And the report continued to raise concerns about China’s activity in managing its currency.

Treasury said that it has “significant concerns” about China’s currency practices and criticized the Chinese government for lacking transparency in how it manages foreign exchange. It noted that the renminbi has fallen by 8 percent in the last year and that China’s bilateral trade surplus in goods with the United States grew to $419 billion as of the end of 2018.

“The outsized magnitude of the bilateral deficit is a result of China’s persistent and widespread use of non-tariff barriers, nonmarket mechanisms, state subsidies, and other discriminatory measures that are increasingly distorting China’s trading and investment relationships,” the report said. “These practices tend to limit Chinese demand and market access for imported goods and services, leading to a wider trade surplus.”

The report comes as the United States and China are locked in a protracted trade war following a breakdown in trade negotiations earlier this month. The United States raised tariff rates on $200 billion worth of Chinese imports and is considering imposing tariffs on another $300 billion. China has vowed to hit back with tariffs or other punitive measures of its own.

Judge Orders Antifa Activist Yvette Felarca to Pay Judicial Watch Legal Fees for Her ‘Entirely Frivolous’ Lawsuit

MAY 21, 2019

(Washington, DC) — Judicial Watch announced that a U.S. District Judge in California awarded Judicial Watch $22,000 in legal fees in a case filed by an Antifa organizer in an effort to block Judicial Watch from obtaining information about her activities.

Yvette Felarca, a middle school teacher in the Berkeley Unified School District (BUSD), and two co-plaintiffs were ordered to pay Judicial Watch $22,000 in attorney’s fees and $4,000 in litigation costs. Felarca had sued the BUSD in federal court to keep the school district from fulfilling its legal obligation to provide Judicial Watch with records of their communications mentioning: Felarca, Antifa, and/or BAMN. Judicial Watch also asked for Felarca’s personnel file.

Felarca is a prominent figure in By Any Means Necessary (BAMN), a group founded by the Marxist Revolutionary Workers League that protests conservative speaking engagements. In 2016, Felarca and two of her allies were arrested and charged with several crimes, including felony assault, for inciting a riot in Sacramento. Earlier this year, Felarca was ordered to stand trial for assault.

U.S. District Judge Vince Chhabria, Northern District of California, who had previously ruled that Felarca’s lawsuit was “entirely frivolous,” wrote in his ruling awarding legal fees to Judicial Watch that Felarca and her co-plaintiffs’ First Amendment claims were “premised on the obviously baseless assumption” that the First Amendment condemns the speech of some while condoning the ideological missions of others.

Judge Chhabria added that “The plaintiffs also mischaracterized the documents under review” and that the plaintiffs “failed to grapple with the role Ms. Felarca played in making herself a topic of public discourse through her physical conduct at public rallies and her voluntary appearance on Fox News.”

Judge Chhabria’s order also states that “a significant portion of the documents the plaintiffs initially sued to protect from disclosure had been publicly disclosed months earlier in another suit brought by Ms. Felarca against BUSD, where she was represented by the same counsel. (See generally Felarca v. Berkeley Unified School District, No. 3:16-cv-06184-RS). The plaintiffs, therefore, had no reasonable argument to protect those documents from disclosure.”

Along with Felarca’s $20,000 payment, co-plaintiffs Lori Nixon and Larry Stefl were ordered by Judge Chhabria to pay Judicial Watch $1,000 each (Yvette Felarca, et al., v. Berekely Unified School District, et al. (No. 3:17-cv-06282-VC)).

“Judicial Watch is entitled to attorney’s fees because the plaintiffs’ lawsuit was frivolous, and their litigation conduct was unreasonable,” Judge Chhabria wrote in his order.

Additionally, Judge Chhabria’s order holds the plaintiffs “jointly and severally liable” to pay Judicial Watch $4,000 in litigation expenses.

In 2017, Judicial Watch filed a California Public Records Act (CPRA) request seeking public records information about Felarca’s Antifa activism and its effect within the Berkeley Unified School District. In her lawsuit aimed at keeping the Berkeley school district from furnishing the records, Felarca alleged that Judicial Watch was misusing the law for political means and the district should refuse to provide the information.

In January 2018, a separate judge ordered Felarca to pay more than $11,000 in attorney and court fees for her frivolous attempt to get a restraining order against Troy Worden, the former head of the University of California (UC) Berkeley College Republicans.

“This is a huge victory for Judicial Watch against Antifa and the violent left,” Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton said. “Ms. Felarca attacked Judicial Watch without basis and the court was right to reject her ploy to deny our ‘right to know’ because we don’t share her violent left views.”

AG Barr Battles Intel Community And FBI. Illegal Surveillance Had Been Going On For Years.

By Sara Carter -May 28, 2019

President Donald Trump’s orders to declassify secret documents pertaining to the FBI’s investigation into his campaign in 2016, came after weeks of battles between Attorney General William Barr and senior officials within the bureau, CIA and other agencies, sources with knowledge told SaraACarter.com.

Despite the president’s order giving Barr authority over the declassification of the documents related to the bureau’s investigation into the Trump campaign and Russia, it won’t be met without a fight. And there’s a reason why.

…

“The FISC has already found that there’s been spying going on starting in 2012, not in 2016,” he said, adding that senior officials within the FBI and CIA “fear” that a full scale disclosure of the violations will then limit their expansive powers.

Durham is extremely familiar with the CIA and has an extensive career investigating the intelligence community.

As for U.S. Attorney John Huber, he is no longer working on the FBI’s probe into the Trump campaign. He will be focused on other matters.

“How much surveillance came directly from the NSA? How much of it was misused under the terrorism statute,” said another former senior intelligence official, who spoke on condition of anonymity. “Because under 215 and 702 you can do things you can’t do under a normal criminal investigation. These are the areas Barr needs to be looking at and this is exactly what they need to be questioning about.”

Troops Wearing ‘Make Aircrew Great Again’ Patch Triggers Outrage from Left

Mass outrage on the left ensued after photos emerged of United States sailors aboard the USS Wasp wearing “Make Aircrew Great Again” patches with President Trump’s likeness on them. The images were first reported by White House reporters traveling with the president on his trip to Japan, where he stopped at a U.S. military base in Yokosuka. After the photos surfaced online, leftist commentators and pundits began calling for the airmen to be punished, claiming they had violated the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) for engaging in political activity while in uniform.

One man who calls himself a “liberal provocateur” tried to alert their commander. He had also called them wearing the patch “fascism,” and asked if they had “armbands, too”. Another leftist dug up photos to confirm whether the patches were actually real, and found they have been worn since at least September 2017. One professor worried that the military was not loyal to civilian control and the Constitution, and was now “part of a presidential personality cult”.

Leftists were similarly outraged when Trump visited a U.S. base in Iraq last year for Christmas. Several troops had “Make America Great Again” hats, which drew claims they had violated UMCJ again. Some speculated that Trump’s staff had brought the hats with them and distributed them. The U.S. Air Force later said the airmen were not in violation of the UCMJ. “There is no rule against Airmen bringing personal items to be signed by the president,” U.S. Air Forces Europe said in a statement. There have been other shows of support for Trump from the military that have not garnered as much attention. In January, Trump was greeted by a standing ovation at the Pentagon, and an attendee waving a MAGA hat. One source said the attendee was a female in a military uniform.

Deep State Blame Game: Loretta Lynch Contradicts Comey’s Testimony on Clinton Email Investigation

NEW YORK — Conflicting testimony and narratives between disgraced former FBI director James B. Comey and former attorney general Loretta E. Lynch raise serious questions not only about who is telling the truth but also about Comey potentially mischaracterizing or even fictionalizing key claims he made about President Trump and the Russia collusion story. Last week, Lynch’s closed-door December 2018 testimony to the House Judiciary Committee was made public by Rep. Douglas A. Collins (R-Ga). At the hearing, Lynch disputed Comey’s claim that she directed him to downplay the investigation into Hillary Clinton’s private email server by referring to what ultimately became a criminal probe as instead “a matter” during any public comments on the issue.

“I didn’t direct anyone to use specific phraseology,” Lynch stated. “When the Director asked me how to best to handle that, I said: What I have been saying is we have received a referral and we are working on the matter, working on the issue, or we have all the resources we need to handle the matter, handle the issue. So that was the suggestion that I made to him.” Lynch maintained that she was “quite surprised that he characterized it in that way,” referring to Comey’s claim that Lynch directed him to call the investigation “a matter.” Her denial of directing Comey to call it a matter precludes the possibility of any misunderstanding on Comey’s part. In June 2017 testimony before the Senate Intelligence Committee, Comey specifically described Lynch as directing him to call the Clinton probe “a matter.”

“The attorney general had directed me not to call it ‘an investigation,’ but instead to call it ‘a matter,’ which confused me and concerned me,” Comey stated. “That was one of the bricks in the load that led me to conclude, ‘I have to step away from the department if we’re to close this case credibly.’” In his book, “A Higher Loyalty,” Comey goes even further, detailing a conversation he claimed that he had with Lynch in which he says that she instructed him to call the investigation “a matter” – phraseology Comey viewed as aligned with Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign. Comey wrote in the book: I explained that I thought we had reached a point where at my regular quarterly press roundtable, set for October 1, I should confirm we had a Clinton email investigation open, which the whole world knew anyway, but then offer no further details. Attorney General Lynch agreed that it made sense to do that. But then she quickly added, “Call it ‘a matter.’” “Why would I do that?” I asked. “Just call it ‘a matter,’” came her answer. It occurred to me in the moment that this issue of semantics was strikingly similar to the fight the Clinton campaign had waged against The New York Times in July. Ever since then, the Clinton team had been employing a variety of euphemisms to avoid using the word “investigation.” The attorney general seemed to be directing me to align with that Clinton campaign strategy. Her “just do it” response to my question indicated that she had no legal or procedural justification for her request, at least not one grounded in our practices or traditions. Otherwise, I assume, she would have said so.

The End of Women’s Sports: Biological Male Wins NCAA Women’s Track Championship

A biological male who identifies as a woman won the NCAA women’s track championship over the weekend.

Cece Telfer. a biological male (transgender), won the women’s 400 meter hurdles on Saturday night and beat the second place competitor by over a full second.

The coach praised Cece Telfer for being the first student-athlete in Franklin Pierce history to collect an individual national title.

“It was tough conditions out here with the wind and the heat over the last three days but, as she has over the last six months, CeCe proved herself to be tough enough to handle it,” head coach Zach Emerson said.

“Today was a microcosm of her entire season; she was not going to let anything slow her down. I’ve never met anybody as strong as her mentally in my entire life,” Emerson said.

The NCAA boasts of its “inclusion of transgender student-athletes” because they believe in and are committed to “diversity, inclusion and gender equity among its student-athletes, coaches and administrators. We seek to establish and maintain an inclusive culture that fosters equitable participation for student-athletes and career opportunities for coaches and administrators from diverse backgrounds.”

The left is completely destroying women’s sports.

Recall, “Rachel” McKinnon is a man who won the women’s cycling world championship in October of last year — all he had to do was show up and say he was a woman named Rachel and next thing you know he’s the world champion.

Two biological males have also crushed female competitors in high school track in Connecticut, ultimately destroying scholarship opportunities for young girls.

Meanwhile the feminists are silent on this issue.

Former Scientist at Top US Lab Charged with Lying About Links to Chinese Program

A former scientist for a U.S. national laboratory has been charged with lying about his contacts with a recruitment program designed to attract foreign experts to work in China. The program has recently come under increased scrutiny in Washington over its role in enabling technology transfer to China from the United States.

Turab Lookman, 67, of Santa Fe, New Mexico, who worked for the Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL), was asked in an employment questionnaire and by federal officials whether he had been recruited by the Chinese regime’s Thousand Talents program, or if he had applied for it, federal prosecutors said in a statement, the Associated Press reported. In an indictment filed last week, prosecutors alleged that between November 2017 and September 2018, Lookman denied his involvement with the program when he in fact applied for it, charging him with three counts of making false statements. Lookman was invited to participate in the Thousand Talents program, then applied for and was accepted into the program, the indictment said. He also received compensation after being accepted.

Prosecutors said the program was “established by the Chinese government to recruit people with access to and knowledge of foreign technology and intellectual property.” The scientist was arrested on May 23 and is due to appear in court for a bail hearing on May 28. He faces up to five years in prison if convicted, prosecutors said.

Lookman joined LANL in 1999 and worked there until recently, the Albuquerque Journal reported. It is unclear whether he resigned or was fired. In 2017, he was named Laboratory Fellow, one of the lab’s highest recognitions for it staff, according to a LANL press release at the time. Lookman, who is also a fellow of the American Physical Society, worked in LANL’s Theoretical Division as an expert in the computational physics of materials, complex fluids, and nonlinear dynamics. His work in the field, which includes two books and more than 250 publications, also received “enormous worldwide attention,” according to the press release. LANL, located in northern New Mexico, is a national laboratory run by the U.S. Department of Energy—best known as the birthplace of the atomic bomb, which was developed at the site decades ago as part of the Manhattan Project. The laboratory is now tasked with engaging in science projects relating to national security, including ensuring the safety of the U.S. nuclear stockpile, developing technology to counter threats from weapons of mass destruction, and solving problems relating to energy, infrastructure, health, and global security.

"The Most Destructive Breach In History": Hackers Use NSA Code To Grind Baltimore To A Halt

The United States is no longer supplying its enemies only with conventional weapons – that list now also includes cyberweapons. While Baltimore has been struggling with an aggressive cyber-attack over the last three weeks, previously profiled here , it has now been revealed that a key component of the malware used by cyber-criminals was actually developed just a short drive from Baltimore - at the NSA, according to the New York Times.

The tool used - called EternalBlue – has been used by hackers in North Korea, Russia and China to "cut a path of destruction around the world", and resulted in billions of dollars in damages.

Now, it has come full circle and is back in the US, wreaking havoc just miles from Washington. In fact, security experts say that attacks using EternalBlue have soared and cyber-criminals are honing in on vulnerable towns and cities, using it to paralyze governments. The NSA's connection to the attacks had previously not been reported and the NSA hasn’t commented about it since an unidentified group leaked the weapon online in April 2017.

The NSA and the FBI still don’t know whether or not it was leaked by foreign spies or US insiders.

The leak has been referred to as “the most destructive and costly N.S.A. breach in history,” by Thomas Rid, a cybersecurity expert at Johns Hopkins University. He continued: “The government has refused to take responsibility, or even to answer the most basic questions. Congressional oversight appears to be failing. The American people deserve an answer.”

An answer that we're sure they won't get.

Commenting on the leak in April 2017, Edward Snowden said that the "NSA just lost control of its Top Secret arsenal of digital weapons; hackers leaked it."

Since the April 2017 leak, foreign intelligence agencies and hackers have used the software to paralyze places like hospitals, airports, rail and shipping operators, ATMs and factories. In the United States, hackers are using the software to hit local governments with outdated infrastructure and few resources to defend themselves.

The software used to be one of the most useful exploits in the NSA's arsenal. Former NSA analysts spent almost a year finding a flaw in Microsoft's software and writing the code to target it. The tool was initially called "EternalBlueScreen" because it had a penchant for crashing computers. In fact, it was so valuable that the agency never even alerted Microsoft to the security flaw and instead, held onto the tool for five years before the breach in 2017 forced them to talk about it.

The May 7 Baltimore attack saw city workers' screens suddenly lock up and a message in broken English demanding $100,000 in Bitcoin ransom. And, as Baltimore has not yet paid the ransom, the city's computers remain handicapped. Without the former NSA tool, the damage wouldn’t of been as bad.

North Korea was the first to allegedly use the tool in 2017 when they attacked the British healthcare system, German railroads and 200,000 additional organizations around the world. Then, Russia reportedly used the tool on Ukraine and companies that did business in the country. The assault cost FedEx more than $400 million and Merck $670 million. Over the past year, Russian hackers have also used it to compromise hotel Wi-Fi networks, while Iranian hackers have used it to hack airlines in the Middle East. Of course, there is no evidence that any of these actors were behind the reported hacks.

Vikram Thakur, Symantec’s director of security response said: “It’s incredible that a tool which was used by intelligence services is now publicly available and so widely used.”

When the tool was leaked in 2017, the NSA finally reached out to Microsoft, who developed a patch - but by then, it was too late and many systems still remained unprotected.

Mueller: Obstruction indictment against Trump mentioned in Michael Wolff book does not exist

Special counsel Robert Mueller’s office pushed back against author Michael Wolff’s claim that prosecutors drafted a three-count obstruction of justice indictment against President Trump. “The documents that you’ve described do not exist,” Mueller spokesman Peter Carr said in a statement to the Washington Examiner.

In his forthcoming book “Siege: Trump Under Fire,” Wolff wrote that a draft indictment charged Trump with obstructing an investigation, tampering with a witness, and retaliating against a witness. He said his reporting was “based on internal documents given to me by sources close to the Office of the Special Counsel.” The Guardian, which obtained an advance copy of the book, said it had seen the documents. Wolff’s last book on Trump, Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House, was released in 2018 and heavily scrutinized for its flippancy with facts.

Mueller was appointed in May 2017 to investigate Russian interference in the 2016 election. Nearly two years later, he submitted a 448-page report detailing the investigation’s findings to the Justice Department. A redacted version of the report laid out 10 instances in which Trump might have obstructed justice, but Mueller declined to say whether he committed obstruction, citing a Justice Department guideline that sitting presidents cannot be indicted. "Because we determined not to make a traditional prosecutorial judgment, we did not draw ultimate conclusions about the President's conduct," Mueller's report said.

Attorney General William Barr concluded Mueller’s investigation did not find “sufficient” evidence to determine whether Trump obstructed justice. Barr defended the president’s behavior during the investigation as Trump being “frustrated and angry” with a process he believed was politically motivated.

The Rockefeller Way: The Family’s Covert ‘Climate Change’ Plan

Executive Summary

“Beginning in the 1980s, the Rockefeller Brothers Fund became leading advocates of the global warming agenda. … In their Sustainable Development Program Review, the Rockefeller Brothers Fund boasts of being one of the first major global warming activists, citing its strong advocacy for both the 1988 formation of the U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and the 1992 establishment of the U.N. Framework Convention on Climate Change.” (excerpt from Report)

The following text is the Executive Summary of a full length report by The Energy & Environmental Legal Institute published in 2016.

This informative report is brought to the attention of Global Research readers. The CRG does not necessarily endorse the title nor the contents of this report.

What is important, however, is to acknowledge the role of the Rockefeller family –which historically was the architect of “Big Oil”– in supporting the Climate Change debate as well as financing the NGOs involved in grassroots activism against “Big Oil”.

Debate on the world’s climate is of crucial importance.

But there is a contradictory relationship: Whereas “Big Oil” is the target of Global Warming activism, “Big Oil” through the Rockefeller Family and Rockefeller Brothers Trusts generously finance the Worldwide climate protest movement. Ask yourself Why?

Michel Chossudovsky, Global Research, May 2019

The Rockefellers are arguably the wealthiest and most powerful family in the history of the United States. For more than 100 years, they have shaped and directed America’s economic, financial, political, and public policy while simultaneously amassing one of the largest family empires in the modern era.

Most Americans hold the billionaire philanthropists in high esteem, associating the Rockefeller name with “oil” and “capitalism.” In reality, the Rockefellers are intent on controlling nearly every major institution in America, using philanthropy as a means of increasing their influence on the world stage under the guise of advancing various social causes. Their avid opposition to the very fossil fuel industry that made John D. Rockefeller America’s first billionaire shows that the Rockefellers are not political ideologues. Instead, they are mere opportunists who support political agendas convenient to enhancing their leverage in the global arena.

Through the Rockefellers’ web of family foundations, universities, and institutions, as well as huge grants to other charities, they have gained unprecedented influence in healthcare, pharmaceuticals, agriculture, energy, and the environment. Their highly complex integration of hedge funds, interlocking boards positions, and non-profit organizations has steered public policy on these issues and provided them with foreknowledge of emerging markets and access to the developing worlds’ natural resources.

Since the beginning of their philanthropic endeavors, the Rockefellers have used social causes to amass influence in policy areas of their choosing. Since the 1980s, their cause of choice has been the climate change agenda (originally called global warming). Their crusade to collapse the fossil fuel industry in favor of renewable energy in well-documented, from their involvement in major global climate treaties and organizations – the U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change in 1992 to the 1997 Kyoto Protocol – to spending hundreds of millions to advance the renewable energy industry. Through their Sustainable Development Program, the Rockefellers continue to promote their self-serving “clean energy” policies throughout both the federal government and general public.

As the most prolific benefactors of the climate activist movement, the Rockefellers’ impact on the energy industry sees no bounds, as the family’s objectives permeate throughout federal and state energy policy, as well as international social engineering globalist compacts such as Agenda 21. With the immeasurable influence that accompanies mass wealth and power, the Rockefeller empire has proven an effective puppeteer of advancing its main objective: the destruction of the fossil fuel industry to increase its clout over the energy sector.

Eric Swalwell: I May Be ‘Another White Guy’ but ‘I Know When to Pass the Mic’

Presidential candidate Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) has publicly checked his privilege, saying that, as “another white guy,” there are gaps in his understanding of racial issues and vowing to “pass the mic to people who do have that experience.”

Speaking with Vice News, Swalwell declared, “A white guy who doesn’t see other identities or understand other experiences should not be president.”

The California Democrat continued: “And where there would be gaps in my knowledge or my experience, I will pass the mic to people who do have that experience. I’ve also pledged that I would ask a woman to serve as vice president.”

On Monday, Swalwell tweeted a video clip of the exchange along with a similar sentiment he expressed during the interview. “I may be ‘another white guy,’ but I know where there are gaps in my knowledge or my experience and I know when to pass the mic,” he wrote.

Swalwell’s comments come after the longshot White House hopeful conceded to donors on Sunday that campaign fundraising is on a “downtrend.”

“We’re writing to you with an urgent request. We just looked at our finances and it seems like we’re on a downtrend for this month’s fundraising numbers,” the email reads. “So many of you have stepped up to help us reach our goal of 65,000 individual donors, but we’re not quite there. We’re working hard to get to the debate stage and beyond.”

Swalwell, who is polling at 0 percent in several national polls, was one of Congress’ loudest voices pushing the now-debunked Trump-Russia collusion hoax. Appearing Sunday on the Fox News Channel, the lawmaker said he still believes President Trump colluded with the Kremlin during the 2016 presidential election.

Earlier this year, the California Democrat received blowback for appearing to suggest imprisoning firearm owners who might oppose future restrictions on guns.

North Korea may designate Bidan Island in North Pyongan Province as a new special economic zone.

Japan’s Tokyo Shimbun newspaper said Tuesday that Pyongyang is planning to resettle the island's current residents to make way for the construction of a financial center that would be opened up to the outside world.

The report added that during his visit to China in January, North Korean leader Kim Jong-il had received Beijing’s advice and support on the matter.

Located near the mouth of the Abrok ( Yalu ) River that serves as the North's border with China, Bidan Island has a population of around 200-thousand.

Notable: Anon on why Coates was Circumvented

Alright Anons, I was sitting here trying to spark up the old autism reactor when I think some connections started to make sense. In order to answer Q's last post #3347 "Why circumvent Coates?" we have to go back to one of the earliest posts.

In post #30 Q says: "When Trump was elected you can’t possibly imagine the steps taken prior to losing power to ensure future safety & control." We have known for a long time that plants like Manafort and Page were inserted into the campaign, but I have always suspected that in order to hedge (their) bets, the DS decided to use an oldie from their playbook by making sure the VP was one of (them) so they could 187 POTUS like the did JFK and pull a LBJ.

In post #714 Q says: “Save the best for last. [P]”. Yes, I know Q later said [P] = Payseur, however the cabal has a penchant for changing their last names to mask family ties. I would not be surprised if Pence is actually Payseur. Additionally, Q has repeatedly said never interfere with your enemy while they are in the process of destroying themselves. I know many Anons are going to say that Pence is a Republican, anti-abortion, etc, etc. but remember the cabal literally lives and dies on its use of the Hegelian dialectic to present people with binary choices that ultimately always funnel people to the outcome (they) want. What better way to reveal the con than to expose the VP as a plant and co-conspirator in Spygate? The people of America would be free from both the establishment left and the controlled opposition establishment right.

If Anons would give me the grace of just a bit more time to bring it full circle. Who else is from Indiana and a swamp creature? DAN COATES the current DNI. Though Coates has at times voted with the will of the people, like opposing the Iran Nuclear Deal, in many more cases he has voted for gun control, for the war in Iraq, was one of Bush 2’s top choices for Secretary of Defense, was super close with Merkel when he was ambassador to Germany, lobbied for the bailouts in 2008 and was one of the leading voices that Russia hacked our elections in 2016. Additionally, Dan and his wife (remember follow the wives?) both are heads of the Sagamore Institute, an Indiana “think-tank”. Funny how these “think-tanks” like Tavistock Institute and Royal Institute of International Affairs always seem to pop up when we dig into cabal players…

While DNI (confirmed 13-2 not much opposition in the swamp) Coates has ragged about Trump’s foreign policy; berating him for pulling out of Syria, mocked his allegations of being wiretapped, saber rattled against Russia, openly laughed at the President’s attempts to bring peace to the world, been lauded by CIA clowns like Brennan as a voice of sanity in the administration, and has threatened to quit in “protest”. Want to take a guess at who persuaded him to stick around? Pence. Most recently Coates has threatened Barr to not reveal state secrets while exposing Spygate.

Which brings us to some of Q’s more recent posts like #3328. Where Q says “C comes before D”. In post #3344 Q appears to confirm that C=Comey, which following the pattern would mean D=first letter of first name: [D]an. This explains why POTUS circumnavigated Coates with the declassification. And last the autistic cherry on top that started this whole thing. POTUS’s tweet at 3:29PM today where he misspelled (we know POTUS only misspells things for emphasis) Biden as Bidan = Bye Dan.

BONUS AUTISM: Nice article urging POTUS to step down and let Pence be President Newsweek. You‘re glowing and stupid.

Mexican military helicopter crashes, killing six

MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - A Mexican military helicopter engaged in firefighting operations crashed in central Mexico on Friday, killing five members of the Navy crew and an inspector with the national forestry commission, the Navy said on Saturday.

The MI-17 helicopter came down about 55 miles (89 km) north of the town of Jalpan de Sierra in the central state of Queretaro, where it had been working to help extinguish a forest fire, the Navy said.

Reasons for the crash were not immediately clear.

A reconnaissance team found debris from the helicopter early in the morning, after operations had to be suspended during the night due to adverse weather conditions, a Navy statement said.

Officials, including President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, held a minute’s silence for the crew on Friday after news of the crash began to circulate.

Faithless electors who didn't vote for Clinton can be fined, court rules.

OLYMPIA, Wash. (AP) — The state Supreme Court says the "faithless electors" who defied both a pledge they had made and the will of Washington voters by casting their Electoral College votes for candidates other than Hillary Clinton in 2016 can be fined $1,000, as state law stipulates.

Four of Washington's 12 Democratic presidential electors voted for someone other than Clinton in 2016, who won the popular vote in Washington. Three voted for former Secretary of State Colin Powell and one for Faith Spotted Eagle, an activist in the fight against the Keystone XL Pipeline. All had signed pledges to support Clinton if she won the state's vote.

The Seattle Times reports that state law at the time dictated a $1,000 fine for electors who defied the popular vote, but the four electors challenged the fine. A Thurston County Superior Court judge ruled in 2017 that the fines were permissible.

The state Supreme Court, in an 8-1 decision Thursday, upheld that ruling.

Danish party presents plan for full asylum stop until 2025.

Denmark’s largest right-wing party, the Danish People’s Party (DF) has presented a plan to introduce a complete halt to asylum until 2025.

According to them, a five-year full asylum stop until 2025 will reduce the influx by 4,000 migrants annually, while saving the state’s coffers up to $300 million.

If the DF had its way, asylum seekers coming to Denmark via Germany and Sweden would be rejected and asked to apply in the countries they have just travelled through, which are perfectly safe. If they still choose to stay in Denmark, a deportation will be negotiated for payment.

“We don’t want people to seek asylum directly in Denmark in the coming years. This means that if you come to the Danish border from a peaceful country, typically Germany, then you’ll be told to seek asylum in Germany”, Danish People’s Party’s chairman Kristian Thulesen Dahl explained to Danish Radio.

According to him, the Refugee Convention doesn’t prevent Denmark from sending people to countries that are deemed safe. Therefore, Denmark will use the border controls to turn asylum seekers back and ask them to stay, say, in Germany.

“The question is, how many people will want to apply in Denmark if they know that we have a system where they will be sent back anyway”, Thulesen Dahl explained.

According to Thulesen Dahl, this plan violates neither the Schengen Agreement nor the Dublin Regulation. He ventured that the Dublin system, according to which the first country an asylum seeker enters is usually responsible for dealing with their case, has “broken down” in recent years anyway.

The Danish People’s Party estimates that an asylum stop will result in 4,000 fewer asylum seekers coming to Denmark every year, while putting an extra DKK 2 billion ($300 million) more into the state’s coffers.

Of this money, the DF propose to allocate DKK 1.5 billion ($220 million dollars) on raising the supplementary pension benefits by DKK 11,000 ($1,650), while the remainder will be used to pay off neighbouring areas to receive asylum seekers.

“We know that it will cost some money, but there is a bonus associated with it. We will save a lot of money on the asylum stop, and then we can increase Denmark’s efforts in the neighboring areas, so we help many more who are in need”, Thulesen Dahl concluded.

Notable: Deep State Has Left ‘Paper Trail As Wide As Interstate-95’

Deep State Has Left ‘Paper Trail As Wide As Interstate-95’ Which Will ‘Fall All Over DC Like Radioactive Ash’

News of Trump’s order to declassify all documents relating to the targeting of his presidential campaign by members of the Obama administration intelligence community has reverberated throughout Washington and beyond since Thursday night. The same Democrats who are demanding that Trump release his business records and tax returns because he “may have” broken the law are panicking over this directive. Rep. Adam Schiff, who has built his reputation on his hatred for Donald Trump, tells reporters it’s “un-American” and of course, he’s worried about revealing “sources and methods.”

For nearly three years, Democrats and the media have persecuted this President, yet they’ve never been able to point to a particular crime. They’ve called for his impeachment, yet offer no specifics. Up until now, general accusations have worked very well for them.

The always colorful social critic and blogger James Howard Kunstler reacted to Trump’s declassification directive in his signature fashion:

Not long ago, few Americans of the thinking persuasion might have imagined that such a well-engineered republic, with its exquisite checks and balances, sturdy institutions, and time-tested traditions would end up as so much smoldering goop in a national dumpster fire, but such is the sad state-of-the-union moving into the fateful summer of 2019. The castle of the permanent bureaucracy is about to be torched by an uprising of deplorable peasants led by a Golden Golem made furious by relentless litigation. It’s Game of Thrones meets the Thermidorian Reaction with a Weimar-flavored cherry on top — really one for the ages!…

The plot they concocted to get rid of him failed. And, yes, it was a plot, even a coup. And they f***ed it up magnificently, leaving a paper trail as wide as Interstate-95. Now all that paper is about to fall over the District of Columbia like radioactive ash, turning many current and former denizens of rogue agencies into the walking dead as they embark on the dismal journey between the grand juries and the federal prisons.

Hence, the desperate rage of the impeachment faction, in direct proportion to their secret shameful knowledge that the entire RussiaGate melodrama was, in fact, a seditious subterfuge between the Hillary Clinton campaign and a great many key figures in government up-to-and-including former president Barack Obama, who could not have failed to be clued-in on all the action. Even before the declassification order, the true narrative of events has been plainly understood: that the US Intel “community” trafficked in fictitious malarkey supplied by Mrs. Clinton to illegally “meddle” in the 2016 election.

Mexico’s economy contracts in 1st quarter

MEXICO CITY (Reuters) — Mexico’s economy shrank in the first quarter of 2019 from the previous three-month period, data showed on Friday, dealing a blow to the new government’s drive to convince investors it can boost growth in Latin America’s second-largest economy.

Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador took office in December pledging to ramp up lackluster growth and job creation.

But the economy shrank 0.2 percent compared with the October-December period as services and industrial activity dipped, the first contraction since the second quarter of 2018, according to data from national statistics agency INEGI. The contraction was particularly sharp in March.

“March was a very bad month for economic activity, clocking a 0.6 percent contraction,” Mexican central bank board member Jonathan Heath said on Twitter, citing monthly economic activity data also published on Friday.

Goldman Sachs economist Alberto Ramos said strikes and fuel supply disruptions earlier in the year had contributed to the slump.

After the data was published, Mexico’s benchmark stock index fell more than 1 percent to a two-month low, the peso currency dipped into negative territory, and economic research consultancy Capital Economics cut its Mexican growth forecast to 1.8 percent for 2019.

“The weak Q1 GDP figure means the economy won’t, barring a major surprise, grow by the 2.5 percent that we had projected … The next few years will be underwhelming for Mexico’s economy,” said William Jackson, Chief Emerging Markets Economist at Capital Economics.

Lopez Obrador brushed aside concerns about the data at his daily morning press conference.

“Investment is growing, I said it yesterday, our currency is strong, it is appreciating more than other currencies around the globe and inflation is stable. And there will be growth, much more growth. So we’re going to wait,” said Lopez Obrador.

Mexico received some $10 billion in foreign direct investment in the first quarter, up 7 percent from the same quarter last year, and inflation was slightly lower than expected in the first half of May at 4.43 percent.

The peso has appreciated over 6 percent since Lopez Obrador took office.

Still, some of the president’s decisions have rattled investors, prompting concern among private sector analysts.

The International Monetary Fund on April 9 lowered Mexico’s 2019 growth outlook to 1.6 percent from 2.1 percent, citing shifts in perception about policy.

In a note, Goldman Sachs’ Ramos said high interest rates would weigh on consumer spending, adding that the investment outlook was lackluster, partly due to uncertainty over the ratification of a new trade deal with Mexico’s top export market the United States.

The U.S. economy expanded 3.2 percent in the first quarter in annual terms, but some economists believe that growth rate will be short lived, bringing more gloom to Mexico.

Notable: OpEd: Children Sex Trafficked Hidden Victims of Border Crisis

re: Winning: Good info here

Tim Head opinion posted at FOX News with embed video (2 mins) Posted 9hrs ago

(Timothy Head is the executive director for the Faith & Freedom Coalition)

==Children being bought and sold for sex are the hidden victims of the border crisis=

…Since 2007, there have been over 34,000 sex-trafficking cases reported in the United States. Approximately 600 of the cases annually involved foreign nationals smuggling men, women, and children across our southern border…

…Women and girls, some as young as 14, were coerced or abducted and then smuggled across the southern border to perform sex acts for willing buyers. Some victims were forced into sex as many as 45 times daily. These women and girls did not voluntarily enter into prostitution; their captors sold them into the sex trade through beatings, sexual assaults, and threats to their families and children at home….

Over the past year, President Trump has signed four pieces of anti-trafficking legislation focused on the domestic child sex trade.

The Abolish Human Trafficking Act provides resources for trafficking victims.

The Frederick Douglass Trafficking Victims Prevention and Protection Reauthorization Act authorized $430 million to fight sex and labor trafficking.

The Stop Enabling Sex Traffickers Act removed legal protections for internet platforms that knowingly facilitate child sex trafficking.

The Trafficking Victims Protection Act tightens regulations on countries that fail to meet minimum standards of working to end human trafficking, though one piece of legislation with no enforcement trigger is insufficient.

Notable: Anon debunks anti-semitic conspiracy theories

>>6583773

Two very old and very discredited anti-semitic/zionist conspiricy theories deserve special mention.

The first is the so-called "Blood Libel." This entials the zccusation that Jews kidnapped and murdered the children of Christians in order to use their blood as part of their religious rituals during Jewish holidays. The tale is extraordinary and wholly illogical. If anything, it is a projection onto the Jews of the darkest aspects of Paganism and other primitive religious rituals.

No observant Jew would ever conceive of such acts. It is absolutely contrary to The Ten Commandments. In addition to the fact that it conttitutes murder, the use of blood (human or otherwise) in cooking is strictly prohibited by the kosher dietary law. Even nlood from slaughtered animals may not be consumed, and it must be drained out of the animal and covered with earth.

While animal sacrifice was part of the practice of ancient Judaism, the Old Testament itself, and all Jewish teachings since, portray human sacrifice as one of the evils that separated the pagans of Canaan from the Hebrews. Nevertheless, this story was started and repeated to serve political ends. It has no basis in fact.

The second is known as "The Protocols of the Elders of Zion." Although the exact origin is unknown, its intent was to portray Jews as conspirators against the state. In 24 chapters, or protocols, allegedly minutes from meetings of Jewish leaders, the Protocols describes the secret plans of Jews to rule the world by manipulating the economy, controlling the media, and fostering religious conflict.

It is certainly plausible that the Jewish Rothschild banking family were the inspiration for this global jewish conspiracy. For centuries the Rothschilds built a massive fortune through financial and political intrique. It is beyond doubt that this Jewish family did indeed exert substantial influence on a broad range of historic events, from small to large.

However, even a casual study of the family history reveals that the primary agenda of the Rothschilds was money and power for themselves. Any consideration of Jewish religion, welfare or identity was a distant cousin to this primary consideration.

In any event, in 1903, portions of The Protocols of the Elders of Zion were first published in a Russian newspaper. Following the Russian Revolution of 1917, anti-Bolshevik emigres brought the Protocols to the west. Soon after, editions circulated across the globe. An Arabic translation first appeared in the 1920s.

In 1921, the London Times presented conclusive proof that the Protocols were a fraud and a plagiarism. They had been drawn primarily from an 1864 French political satire that had nothing to do with Jews. The satire entitled "Dialogue in Hell Between Machiavelli and Montesquieu" was written as a protest against the Emporer Napoleon.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Some fans attending Sunday’s Indianapolis 500 can get measles vaccines at the track’s infield medical center.

IndyCar medical director Geoffrey Billows said Thursday a “very limited supply” of vaccines will be available at the medical building near the Indianapolis Motor Speedway museum. He says most insurance companies will cover the cost.

Billows encourages concerned fans to get vaccinated before coming to a race expected to attract more than 275,000 spectators.

POTUS to start state visit to Japan for audience with new emperor

TOKYO (Kyodo) – U.S. President Donald Trump is set to start a four-day state visit to Japan on Saturday, a historic event that will make him the first foreign leader to meet with new Emperor Naruhito.

Trump, flanked by first lady Melania, will have an audience Monday with the emperor and Empress Masako. Trump's itinerary also includes a bilateral meeting, golf outing, visit to a grand sumo tournament and informal dinner with Prime Minister Shinzo Abe.

Tweeting from Air Force One en route to Japan on Friday, Trump said he is "looking forward to honoring, on behalf of the United States, His Majesty, the Emperor of Japan," and that he will discuss trade and regional security with Abe, whom he called "my friend."

In a meeting Friday with Trump's national security adviser John Bolton in Tokyo, Abe said he welcomes Trump's "historic" visit as the first state guest of Japan's new imperial era of Reiwa and expressed hope that it will further strengthen the bilateral alliance.

Speaking at the White House on Thursday, Trump expressed excitement about traveling to Japan. "With all the countries of the world, I'm the guest of honor at the biggest event that they've had in over 200 years," he said.

Emperor Naruhito ascended the Chrysanthemum Throne on May 1 after former Emperor Akihito abdicated the previous day, the first Japanese monarch to stand down in about 200 years.

In a meeting on Monday, Abe and Trump are expected to discuss bilateral trade and North Korea policy, with Trump pushing Japan to cut its trade surplus with the United States.

Similarly, American farmers have grown concerned about their reduced market share in Japan following the recent enforcement of an 11-nation Pacific free trade agreement including Japan and farming nations such as Australia and New Zealand.

The leaders are also likely to seek a good balance between pressuring North Korea and exploring opportunities for engagement with leader Kim Jong Un in a bid to address the nuclear, missile and abduction issues.

Following the talks with Abe, Trump will meet with the relatives of Japanese nationals abducted by North Korea in the 1970s and 1980s. The president raised the abduction issue during the first-ever U.S.-North Korea summit last June in Singapore and also in his second meeting with Kim in February in Hanoi.

On Tuesday, Abe and Trump will board the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force helicopter carrier Kaga docked at an MSDF base in Yokosuka, south of Tokyo, in another demonstration of the firmness of the Japan-U.S. alliance.

Trump will address troops during a visit to the U.S. Yokosuka Naval Base before wrapping up the trip.

Earlier this week, KrebsOnSecurity was contacted by a real estate developer in Washington state who said he’d had little luck getting a response from the company about what he found, which was that a portion of its Web site (firstam.com) was leaking tens if not hundreds of millions of records. He said anyone who knew the URL for a valid document at the Web site could view other documents just by modifying a single digit in the link.

And this would potentially include anyone who’s ever been sent a document link via email by First American.

KrebsOnSecurity confirmed the real estate developer’s findings, which indicate that First American’s Web site exposed approximately 885 million files, the earliest dating back more than 16 years. No authentication was required to read the documents.

Many of the exposed files are records of wire transactions with bank account numbers and other information from home or property buyers and sellers. Ben Shoval, the developer who notified KrebsOnSecurity about the data exposure, said that’s because First American is one of the most widely-used companies for real estate title insurance and for closing real estate deals — where both parties to the sale meet in a room and sign stacks of legal documents.

“Closing agencies are supposed to be the only neutral party that doesn’t represent someone else’s interest, and you’re required to have title insurance if you have any kind of mortgage,” Shoval said.

“The title insurance agency collects all kinds of documents from both the buyer and seller, including Social Security numbers, drivers licenses, account statements, and even internal corporate documents if you’re a small business. You give them all kinds of private information and you expect that to stay private.”

Shoval shared a document link he’d been given by First American from a recent transaction, which referenced a record number that was nine digits long and dated April 2019. Modifying the document number in his link by numbers in either direction yielded other peoples’ records before or after the same date and time, indicating the document numbers may have been issued sequentially.

The earliest document number available on the site – 000000075 — referenced a real estate transaction from 2003. From there, the dates on the documents get closer to real time with each forward increment in the record number.

Trump Attacks Military Industrial Complex and Calls for Infrastructure Investments in the Middle East

For the first time in over half a century, an American President has actually come out attacking the Military Industrial Complex. Of course, everyone knows of President Dwight D. Eisenhauer’s famous outgoing 1961 speech warning the world (and the incoming President Kennedy) what sort of monster had arisen at the heart of America’s defense institutions. Very little on the matter was said on the frightening topic by decades of political leaders who rose to prominence in the shadow of JFK’s corpse. Instead, the beast grew like a malignant cancer over the ensuing years as a major branch of the British-run deep state that carried out a coup with Sir Winston Churchill’s Iron Curtain speech in 1946 and the MI6-directed re-organization of American intelligence with the creation of the CIA in 1947.

After John F. Kennedy’s assassination, networks of neoconservative contaminated all branches of government in both parties bringing the USA into a frenzied military doctrine centered on regime change wars, oil-centered geopolitics and unipolarism totally uncharacteristic with the better constitutional traditions of the nation. This geopolitical doctrine nearly drove the west into a full military confrontation with Russia and China in recent years.

The Tide Begins to Turn

On May 20 speaking to Fox News, President Trump echoed Eisenhauer’s warnings. Under a coterie of Trump’s war-mongering advisors such as John Bolton, Gina Haspel, Terrence O’Shaughnessy and Mike Pompeo, America has recently been brought to the brink of war with Iran. While Trump has too often accommodated this hive of neocons, his recent statements and repeated calls for cooperation with Russia and China demonstrate a sound push back which should be taken very seriously. In that Fox interview Trump said:

Trump ‘Hopes’ Barr Scrutinizes British And Australian Role In ‘Hoax’ Investigation

President Donald Trump said Friday he hopes the attorney general looks at the roles played by the British, Australian and Ukrainian governments in the investigation of the Trump campaign.

Trump called out the allied governments when asked about his decision to authorize Barr to declassify a slew of documents related to the origins of the Russia probe.

“I hope he looks at everything,” Trump said of Barr.

President Donald Trump on Friday said he hopes Attorney General William Barr looks at intelligence the British, Australian and Ukrainian governments provided their American counterparts as part of the investigation of the Trump campaign.

“And I hope he looks at the U.K., and I hope he looks at Australia, and I hope he looks at Ukraine. I hope he looks at everything, because there was a hoax that was perpetrated on our country,” Trump told reporters of Barr.

Trump authorized Barr to declassify documents Thursday related to the FBI’s surveillance of the Trump campaign. He also instructed other federal agencies, including the CIA and FBI, to provide classified materials to Barr as part of an inquiry he is making into the government surveillance of the Trump campaign.

Barr has said while he believes “spying” occurred against the campaign, he wants to find out whether it was authorized and legal.

“[W]hat I’ve done is I’ve declassified everything,” Trump said Friday.

Whistleblower Tells All, Claiming Hillary Clinton, Chuck Schumer, Kirsten Gillibrand and Other Prominent Democrats Are Involved in Human Trafficking, Sex Slavery, and Satanism

(Ethan Huff) A former publicist for the infamous sex cult NXIVM has come forward as a whistleblower to tell all that he knows about the evils he witnessed while working for the group – and perhaps more importantly, to reveal the identities of some of the corrupt politicians who were also involved.

During an exclusive interview on The Campaign Show with Patrick Howley, which airs on Patriots Soapbox, Frank Parlato discussed the trial of Keith Raniere, NXIVM’s cult leader and top dog. Parlato also talked about how Raniere and other NXIVM leadership were very closely aligned with Hillary Clinton, having given “illegally bundled money,” to quote Big League Politics, to her 2008 presidential campaign.

According to Parlato, NXIVM routinely trafficked in teenage girls from Mexico, who were then turned into sex slaves and physically branded on their bodies with Raniere’s initials. And unbeknownst to millions of Americans are the many mainstream politicians who, at the very least, appear to have known that this was going on – and some of whom may have also been perpetrators themselves.

As it turns out, Democrat senator for New York and 2020 presidential contender Kirsten Gillibrand has been called out for her close “family ties” to the NXIVM sex cult. Gillibrand’s father and stepmother, who are second cousins, were both heavily involved with NXIVM before they married. Gillibrand’s father, Doug Rutnik, is also a former employee of NXIVM.

According to Big League Politics, Gillibrand’s father functioned as a broker between Raniere, NXIVM’s leader, and then-New York attorney general Eliot Spitzer, who had been working at the time to “resolve” Raniere’s “financial problems with the state” – this, according to Joseph O’Hara, another ex-employee at NXIVM-turned-whistleblower.

Top Secret FISA Court Order - President Obama Spying on Political Enemies

A newly released court order from the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISA) found that the National Security Agency, under former President Obama, routinely violated American privacy protections while scouring through overseas intercepts and failed to disclose the extent of the problems until the final days before Donald Trump was elected president last fall. In describing the violations, the FISA court said the illegal searches conducted by the NSA under Obama were "widespread" and created a "very serious Fourth Amendment issue." These new discoveries come from a recently unsealed FISA court document dated April 26, 2017 and center around a hearing dated October 26, 2017, just days before the 2016 election, in which the FISA court apparently learned for the first time of "widespread" and illegal spying on American citizens by the NSA under the Obama administration.

During early stages of the investigation, records show, Chicago Police shared Intel with the FBI and FBI Special Agent Gregory Wing was working the investigation daily alongside city detectives.

But Wing supervises the Child Sex Crimes and Violent Crimes Against Children squad in the FBI’s Chicago Field Office and is considered one of the top agents investigating child sex trafficking in the country, according to the FBI……

local 'reporter' @AylaFerrone's notes from latest NXIVM Trial transcript

```1)``` The next chunk of testimony is about her upbringing in Mexico and her family. Says she was always a good student, interested in the sciences. Explains in high school her older sister had an eating disorder.

```2)```The witness says she had plans to attend an elite school in Switzerland. Says her parents were taking ESP classes and they had enrolled her in some as well. Her parents gifted her a 16 day intensive as a going away present.

```3)```She says during the intensive she learned about Raniere and was convinced he was the smartest man in the world. She describes more about the intensive and what was said about Raniere.

```4)```Eventually she gave up her scholarship to the school in Switzerland and moved to Albany during V Week of 2002. Says she remembers her first meeting with Raniere and that he knew she was smart. Says it was a special moment for her.

```5)```She describes the stripe path we’ve heard about in previous testimony as well as other inner circle members she met at V Week. Talks about Nancy Salzman and describes her as “a little bit frightening.”

```6)```She now describes the enrollment process of NXIVM/ESP which we’ve also heard about in previous testimony. Essentially structured like a MLM scheme. Says while she was in Albany she stayed with Edgar Boone.

```7)```Says she was being taught to do some programming by upper level NXIVM members. Says she would make herself useful in any way she could including cleaning.

```8)```Eventually her older sister got in some trouble in Mexico and was sent to Albany to live with her and take care of her. Says her sister was depressed for a while but then started going to ESP classes.

```9)``` Now she’s talking about volleyball nights. Says she always went to see Raniere but was too shy to talk to him. Says it was an opportunity to have more personal contact. She ended up having a deeper conversation with him later in 2003.

```10)```Says she was considering going back to school and that Raniere was very attentive to her concerns. Says he gave her a brain teaser and told her to get back to him when she solved it. She said this was exciting for her. She wanted to show off.

```11)``` Says she solved it before he left that night and he was impressed. Says after this there was more one on one contact. Raniere also offered to tutor her. Told her not to go back to school. This is where they take a mid-morning break.

Has almost never happened. I just don’t see it being used in todays society.

The Congress shall have power to declare the punishment of treason, but no attainder of treason shall work corruption of blood, or forfeiture except during the life of the person attainted.

("Attainder of treason" referred to a practice in Europe at the time of impoverishing, ostracizing and banishing a traitor's family and descendants.)

Aaron Burr — third vice president of the United States, 1801-05, planned a Mexican "empire," 1807.

Sidelined politically and embittered after he killed archrival Alexander Hamilton in a duel in 1804, Burr conspired with Gen. James Wilkinson to invade Mexico and establish an empire.

Wilkinson turned him in, and Burr was tried for treason in 1807, based on an accusation that his empire was to include parts of the western United States. Chief Justice John Marshall, who acquitted Burr, said that to prove treason, "war must actually be levied against the United States … conspiracy (to levy war) is not treason."

Thomas W. Dorr — Rhode Island rebel, 1841-42.

Dorr is the only man to be convicted of treason against a state, Rhode Island. He led an uprising against Gov. Samuel King because the state was still adhering to its pre-Revolutionary constitution, and had not enfranchised non-property owners or established a bill of rights. His supporters elected him governor in 1842 in an extralegal convention, and for a while Rhode Island had two administrations. King had him tried and sentenced to life imprisonment for treason in 1844. The same year, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld the conviction against claims that one could not commit treason against a state. Dorr was pardoned in 1845, and his reforms were soon adopted.

Max Haupt — Father of a saboteur, 1942.

Haupt was the father of Herbert Haupt, one of eight Nazi saboteurs convicted by a military tribunal in 1942, and one of six executed. The elder Haupt was charged in 1943 with treason for "giving aid and comfort" to the enemy because he had harbored his son in his Chicago apartment, bought him a car and found him a job, knowing that he planned sabotage.

Max Haupt didn't dispute the facts – it was he who had volunteered the information to the FBI in a fruitless attempt to show that his son was manipulated by others. Instead, the father argued that he had committed the "commonplace, insignificant and colorless" acts of a father. A jury convicted Haupt in 1944, but recommended mercy; he was spared death, and was sentenced to life.

Upholding the conviction in 1947, Supreme Court Judge Robert Jackson said: "It is argued that Haupt merely had the misfortune to sire a traitor … the jury apparently concluded that the son had the misfortune of being a chip off the old block."

Tomoya Kawakita, the tormentor who came home, World War II.

Kawakita, born in California, went to Japan in 1939 when he was 18 to visit his grandfather. He stayed, never renouncing his U.S. citizenship. He was employed as an interpreter with a Japanese nickel company. He was never conscripted, but Japanese authorities used him as an interpreter in a prisoner of war camp.

He readily joined in the abuse of American prisoners, "going beyond any conceivable duty of an interpreter," according to the U.S. Supreme Court. He beat some, pushed another into a cesspool and forced the obviously ill into hard labor.

After the war, he re-registered as a U.S. citizen and returned home. His former victims, who knew him as "Meatball," spotted him and turned him in, and he was sentenced to death for treason in 1952. President Eisenhower commuted his sentence to life in 1953.
